After a brief thought, Lieshan decided to ask both of them to come to Chendu. He wanted to personally question and observe them for a period of time to see who was the common leader of the human race. So he issued a decree and sent people to the two places to read out his intentions.

When the decree reached Jiuli, Chiyou was overjoyed and quickly summoned his eighty-one brothers, asking them to govern the Jiuli tribe well after he left. After that, Chiyou and Xuanyuan stayed in Chendu.

After years of investigation by Lieshan clan, he was in a state of hesitation. He really cared about the human race, but Xuanyuan and Chiyou both had their own strengths, so he could not make a final choice.

As time passed, Chi You became more and more anxious. He began to hope that Lie Shan would return to the throne as soon as possible, so that the human race would fall into Xuan Yuan's hands. However, Xuan Yuan did not make a particularly great contribution to the human race, so Chi You planned to attack Chendu at that time, destroy Xuan Yuan, become the common leader, and devote all his efforts to benefit the human race.

The person who shared the same idea as Chi You was Yan Ju, the adopted son of Lie Shan. In Chendu, Yan Ju had long been fed up with Xuan Yuan's arrogance and had said bad things about Xuan Yuan in front of Lie Shan many times. But Lie Shan understood Yan Ju's intentions and did not take his words too seriously. He knew that the selection of the leader of the human race should be based on contributions to the human race, not on backers or factions. Lie Shan had seen everything Yan Ju had done over the years, and he was very disappointed with this adopted son.

However, time waits for no one. Lie Shan's eyes flashed with regret, and his time in the human race was about to end. At this moment, Ye Qin appeared above Chendu!
All of a sudden, the entire human race knelt on the ground spontaneously, shouting "The Ancestor of Humanity". Ye Qin nodded and glanced at Lie Shan. This Earth Emperor, to whom he had devoted all his efforts, was undoubtedly the one who made the greatest contribution to the human race among the Three Emperors!
Therefore, Lieshan clan deserves Ye Qin to stand out and announce his achievements in front of the human race. "Silence! Lieshan clan of the human race has made great contributions to the human race! There are ten of them!"

At this point, Ye Qin paused, looked at Lie Shan, and found that he seemed very calm. So he nodded and continued: "First, string wood is used as bow, and Yan wood is used as arrow! Lie Shan has improved bows and arrows, improved hunting tools, and benefited the world."

"Second, simplify the eight trigrams into sixty-four trigrams! Lieshan clan deduced the sixty-four trigrams from Fuxi's eight trigrams, making them more flexible for use in human life."

"Third, teach people to farm and grow grains! Lieshan invented the technology of growing grains, which helped the human race get rid of famine and move towards an agricultural society, realizing the development concept that food is the first necessity of the people."

"Fourth, chopping wood into a hoe and kneading wood into a plow! Lieshan created agricultural tools that facilitated the cultivation of grains."

"Fifth, the market is set up at noon, and people trade and retreat! Lieshan clan has opened up the human market to promote trade and meet the living needs of the human race."

"Sixth, hemp was processed into cloth and used to make clothes! Lieshan clan used hemp rope to weave clothes, allowing the human race to get rid of the primitive clothing of animal skins and leaves."

"He carved paulownia trees to make zithers and used silk as strings. Lieshan created the five-stringed zither, shared joy with the people, celebrated the good harvest together, and brought happiness to the human race. This is the seventh."... "He measured the four directions and established scales. Lieshan created the length, feet, and inches, so that the human race had a standard of measurement. This is the eighth." "He tasted hundreds of herbs and taught them how to treat diseases. Lieshan traveled all over Shennongjia and tasted hundreds of herbs himself, and found a way for the human race to fight diseases. This was an unparalleled achievement. This is the ninth." "He first built the Mingtang, settled the land, and felt sorry for the human race, who were like birds with no fixed place to stay. Lieshan first built the Mingtang, so that the human race could live and work in peace and contentment. This is the tenth." "He set up a market at noon and retreated after trading. Lieshan opened a market for the human race, promoted trading and circulation, and met the needs of the human race. This is the fifth." Ye Qin talked slowly and enumerated the ten major achievements of the Lieshan clan one by one.

At this moment, all the great powers in the prehistoric world were shocked when they heard this. These achievements were not done by force, but were truly beneficial to the human race! In other words, these were genuine merits!
The great powers began to speculate on the depth of Lieshan's merits. Some even boldly speculated, is it possible that another saint will be born in the human race? Thinking of this, some great powers could not help but feel terrified.

First there was Ye Qin, and now there is Lieshan. If Lieshan really becomes a saint, who among the human race would dare to provoke them easily?
"Looking at the merits of Lieshan clan, in compliance with the amnesty order of the leader of Jiejiao, the Saint Shangqing, Lieshan clan is specially named the Emperor of Earth, with the honorific title of Shennong clan, and his temple is set up in the Fire Cloud Cave outside the thirty-three heavens." Ye Qin's voice sounded again, spreading throughout the prehistoric world!

At this point, Lieshan clan’s merits were fulfilled!

Suddenly, a huge cloud of merit and virtue descended from the sky! Seeing this cloud, all the great powers were shocked! The amount of merit and virtue was more than three times that of Fuxi!
Countless powerful people secretly thought in their hearts, is it true that the human race will produce another saint? This amount of merit is only 10% less than the merit of Nuwa in creating humans. It seems that he can achieve sainthood in no time!

For a moment, the world was silent, and all the cultivators' eyes were focused on Ye Qin and Lie Shan.

Although Lieshan clan is a disciple of Zhao Gongming of Jiejiao, how could there be no help from Ye Qin? Everyone couldn't help but imagine... Perhaps in the entire prehistoric world, only Ye Qin could cultivate talents like Lieshan clan! After all, Fuxi was a disciple of Xuandu Dafashi under Laozi of Renjiao, but his merits and virtues in heaven were not even one-third of Lieshan clan!

Looking at the merits of Lieshan clan, Ye Qin was not surprised at all. He felt that it was all natural. In his opinion, it would be surprising if Lieshan clan did not receive such merits!

Moreover, Ye Qin also contributed a lot to this. Think about it, he has been assisting Lieshan clan with all his heart and soul for more than a hundred years. If he still cannot obtain a lot of merits from the Heavenly Dao, then the Heavenly Dao of Honghuang is blind!

At this time, Laozi and Nuwa were also shocked. Previously, Lieshan offered a salute to them, but they did not dare to accept it. Now they understood the reason! It turned out that Lieshan's merits were enough to prove the truth.

The merits of the Heavenly Dao were divided into three parts, one of which accounted for about 40% of the total merits and fell directly into the body of Lieshan. Another part accounted for about 50% of the total merits and flew to Ye Qin! The remaining part, which was 10% of the total merits, was divided into three parts, two of which flew to Penglai Island, and the last part turned into countless parts and fell on those who helped Lieshan.

At this moment, the ancient world is peaceful.

Everyone was shocked when they witnessed this strange scene!

Lieshan clan can have so many merits, it turns out that it is really Ye Qin's merit! Just look at the five merits flying directly to Ye Qin.

Terrible! Ye Qin's Heavenly Dao merits are even greater than those of the protagonist, Lie Shan! From this, it can be seen that most of the contributions of Lie Shan to the human race listed by Ye Qin just now were done by him in secret, or by him secretly guiding Lie Shan to do so!
As expected of the fourth ancestor of the human race, this spirit of selfless dedication! No wonder the human race was able to rise in a short period of time and become the master of the prehistoric world!
However, to everyone's surprise, when Ye Qin saw the merits of Heaven flying towards him, he did not accept them, but gave them all to Lieshan clan!
"Just give it to Lieshan clan like this?!"

"That's the merit of heaven!"

"If you don't want it, you can give it to us!"

At this moment, countless people were jealous and excited. Looking at this scene, they shouted in their hearts and looked at Lieshan clan with envy.

At this moment, as the nine-tenths of Heavenly Dao's merit entered Lie Shan's body, he felt his body gradually become lighter. At the same time, his soul seemed to be sublimating, and after a moment, his soul transformed into a primordial spirit.

Lieshan's cultivation realm has made great progress! From the initial stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, he directly broke through to the celestial immortal!

Then came: Golden Immortal...

Taiyi Golden Immortal...

Daluo Jinxian...

Quasi-saint...!
Lieshan's breakthrough to Quasi-Saint did not cause the great powers to be amazed. Because everyone knew that Quasi-Saint was far from the limit of Lieshan!

Sure enough, a moment later, Lie Shan broke through to the peak of Quasi-Sainthood! This was the highest level of cultivation that Emperor Fuxi had ever achieved!
However, the aura of Lieshan clan was still rising sharply!
Upon seeing this, all the great powers in the ancient world knew that Lieshan had a 99% chance of achieving sainthood.

Lieshan clan is going to prove his truth!
Ye Qin looked at it curiously, and the prehistoric cultivators also looked at it curiously. Everyone was waiting quietly!

At this moment, except for some Heavenly Dao saints, everyone hopes that Lieshan can become a saint! Because if Lieshan becomes a saint, it means that even without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, one can become a saint!
If Lieshan becomes a saint, he will point out a path to sainthood for everyone!
This is why Ye Qin gave the Heavenly Dao Merit to Lieshan Clan! He believed that 90% of the Heavenly Dao Merit was enough for Lieshan Clan to prove the Dao and become a saint!
But at the same time, a trace of doubt arose in his heart... Compared with the saints of the Heavenly Dao, the Lieshan clan seemed to be lacking something crucial besides merit!

That is the Hongmeng purple energy!
So, without the Hongmeng purple energy, can Lieshan become a saint?

Ye Qin felt the changes in Lie Shan's body, and with a glance, he knew what level of cultivation he had reached.

He looked at Lieshan clan with expectation. At this moment, Lieshan clan was his test subject, his test subject for reaching the Saint realm! He was not far from the Saint realm, and it was a blessing for him to let Lieshan clan take the lead. He might be able to find the secret of becoming a Saint from them!

Lieshan, no, now he should be called Shennong. His aura became stronger and stronger, almost touching the threshold of the saint realm! However, when he occasionally exuded a saint-like aura, his cultivation came to an abrupt halt and no longer improved!

Ye Qin stared at Shennong without blinking, muttering to himself: Is it still not working?
The merits of Heaven continued to befall Shennong, but his cultivation seemed to be bound by invisible shackles and stagnated.

Could it be that the Heavenly Dao Merit had lost its effect on his cultivation? Ye Qin was filled with confusion.

He recalled the scene of Hou Tu becoming a saint, and couldn't help but begin to wonder: Why could Hou Tu become a saint by virtue of her merits, but Shennong couldn't?

Ye Qin fell into deep thought, and he gradually understood a truth: wanting to become a saint by relying on the merits of the Way of Heaven is probably just wishful thinking. Hou Tu's experience of becoming a saint shows that only the merits of the Way of Heaven can truly help people achieve the Way of Sainthood.

So, if you don't rely on external forces, how can you achieve enlightenment? Ye Qin fell into deep thought again. Whether it is the merits of the Heavenly Dao or the Great Dao, they are all external things after all. The Heavenly Dao Sage is subject to the Heavenly Dao, and it is difficult for him to make further progress in his cultivation, let alone keep pace with the Heavenly Dao. The Great Dao Sage is also subject to the Great Dao, and his cultivation cannot surpass the limitations of the Great Dao.

Only the Hunyuan Saints, those Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian who have achieved enlightenment through their own strength, can break free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao and have unlimited possibilities!
Ye Qin had gained merit several times, but resolutely gave up, and this was the reason. He knew very well that only by constantly striving for self-improvement could he reach the true peak.

At this time, Shennong raised his head and looked at Ye Qin firmly: "Thank you for the merits bestowed on me by the Fourth Ancestor. It's a pity that Shennong is not talented enough to reach the realm of a saint." As he said that, he waved his hand and collected all the merits of the Heavenly Dao that could not improve his cultivation. "Since I am the Emperor of the Human Race, I should seek the welfare of the human race!"

"God is above. I, Shennong, am willing to exchange the merits in my hands for the equivalent luck of the human race! May the luck of our human race prosper forever and enjoy endless blessings and longevity!" Shennong's voice echoed between heaven and earth.

hum!
The Heavenly Dao seemed to sense Shennong's sincerity, and the merits in his hands disappeared instantly. At the same time, the luck of the human race inexplicably increased a lot.

At the same time, a cluster of fire on the ancestral mountain of the human race suddenly burst into dazzling light, illuminating the entire prehistoric world!

"That is... the fire of Suiren! The first spark of human race!" someone exclaimed.

This spark is deeply rooted in the destiny of the human race. As long as the destiny does not die, the spark will burn forever!

The human race also noticed this change. They felt the influence of the human race's luck, their bodies became healthier and stronger, and their diseases disappeared quietly. This scene happened to every human!
"May your fortunes last forever and your life be blessed with endless happiness and longevity!" The human race shouted in unison, and their voices echoed throughout the entire prehistoric world.

"Long live the Fourth Ancestor, long live the Emperor of Earth!" Cheers rang out one after another. Ye Qin saw countless wishes converging towards him, and he smiled with relief.

Shennong also felt the power of incense and vows, and he looked at Ye Qin somewhat at a loss.

Ye Qin smiled and said to him: "As the Emperor of the Earth, I have seen everything you have done. Since you really care about the human race, then I will give you another great fortune!"

As he spoke, Ye Qin flew up to the sky, looked around, and then took out the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern, a congenital spiritual treasure that he had never used before. He stretched out one hand and grabbed the sky, and immediately all the incense and wish power flying towards him were firmly grasped in his hand.

Then, he pointed at the Bajing Palace Lantern, and all the incense and wishes instantly gathered in it, and the originally extinguished wick was instantly lit!
Ye Qin landed and handed the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern to Shennong: "Use this as a container to hold all the incense and wishes of the human race. My wish power is already in it. Try to absorb it all and see if you can improve your cultivation."

Shennong hurriedly did as he was told, and immediately his semi-saint cultivation began to grow again!
boom!
After a loud bang, a brand new saint stood on the prehistoric land! And this saint was none other than Shennong of the human race!
Ye Qin looked at this scene and nodded: "You can enter the realm of saints by consuming the power of incense and vows. However, the consumption rate is a bit fast. What you need to do next is to store the power of incense and vows in the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern for emergency use." (End of this chapter)
